  • More Qatar flights to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth

    Mar 24, 2024, 03:23 PM

    Am surprised they're not flying into the Gold Coast. Massive catchment region from Brisbane to Northern NSW. A demographic that has changed considerably over the years, with more and more business, government and premium demand, plus there is still a strong travel hungry base.  For dema...

  • Qantas to upgrade economy seats

    Jan 16, 2024, 04:52 PM

    Short-range overseas hops? BNE-LAX =MEL- DEL = 12hrs 40minsSYD - MUM = 14 hrs 40 minsBNE - LAX = 13hrs 25minsHardly short range. And even the shorter hops to SIN, HND, MNL are circa - 7 - 9 hrs. Again, hardly short.

  • Govt to subsidise half-price Qantas, Virgin holiday flights

    Tourer.  You can leave now.  There isn't any restrictions on leaving.

  • Rex aims for March 2021 start for Sydney-Melbourne-Brisbane flights

    737s and A320s make sense. Lots of cheap ones atm and I imagine certified engineers/pilots/dispatchers/cabin crew available to operate them. Good luck to them.

  • Cyrus wants Virgin Australia to be a smaller, mid-market airline

    I already thought VA was between JQ and QF. As a platinum Velocity member there is no special lounge, where as QF offers their Platinum the business lounge. No food in economy, just snack, where as QF provides a meal of sorts. Prices tend to be line ball or even higher than QF.

  • Does VA take its most frequent fliers for granted?

    Jul 23, 2024, 01:45 PM

    Glad this discussion is being had. I’ve been feeling the same way. I usually hit double platinum if I do all VA flights but I can’t really see the benefit from platinum to gold anymore. Almost impossible to use your business class upgrades, and the call centre is woeful. Try cancelli...

  • Velocity Rewards - Time to Make Some Changes

    Apr 06, 2024, 05:24 PM

    With all the focus on QFF over the past it's surprising how VA/Velocity have seemed to avoid any real inspection and fair critcism. Velocity is doing what everyone was criticising QFF for, which is listing both their rewards flights and full points flights together. This is surely misleading, and...

  • Complimentary VA Plat upgrades

    Feb 14, 2024, 05:36 PM

    I'm having this issue atm. Have 10 seperate flights booked over the next 6 months, all various origin/destinations and simply can't find one segment to upgrade on. Saying that, the call centre is useless.

    Yes. There is another thread on this topic sharing the same observation and experience
